I have a Rode NT1-A and Scarlett 2i2 that I use in Reaper to record and usually have no problems.
Today, I got a new midi controller (Novation Launchkey Mini) and I was configuring it to work with Reaper. Afterwards, I diconnected it and plugged back in my audio receiver to record some vocals on my mic. I was surprised to find that the volume of the recording was very low, even though I usually used that level of gain on the audio receiver. I dialed up the input gain ont he receiver and tried again; when I recorded then, it was still fairly quiet but was clipping -- as if it was limited to that very low volume.
What's going on? Is there some setting I can fix (maybe caused by using the MIDI keyboard) or is my mic broken? Any help would be much appreciated, thank you and Merry Christmas!
